The Vital Infrastructure of Attachment Trauma

Hi All, This is a very important paper. If you ever doubted that we need to address early trauma and PTSD by calming the nervous system, those doubts will be eased when you read about the mechanisms at play in the brainstem as a result of eal attachment rupture. I know from experience that the […]

fMRI functional connectivity of the periaqueductal gray in PTSD and its dissociative subtype

Here is a copy of the paper from Ruth Lanius et al that reports on the hyper functional connectivity between the periaqueductal gray, (PAG), the superior colliculus and the amygdala. The take home from this paper is that these reptilian structures at the juncture of the brain stem and the midbrain are the primary threat […]

Gamma frequency entrainment attenuates amyloid load and modifies microglia

A question that occurs to me is whether we are aren’t already positively affecting gamma, almost regardless of the neurofeedback we are doing given the network connections and harmonics in the brain? If not, couldn’t we optimize our approaches to focus on gamma enhancement both to help those with Alzheimer’s or to help prevent it? […]

Fear reduction without fear through reinforcement of neural activity that bypasses conscious exposure

In brief, this studies suggests that exposure therapy is at the least not necessary and that through fMRI neurofeedback people can learn to change patterns of neural activation associated with fear learning. The same, of course, can be done with neurofeedback. http://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-016-0006
